[Voyage-linux] remountro busy, possible solution

[Robert Vollmert]

Hi,

remountro sometimes fails for busy root filesystem, as has been discussed before. I wasn't able to fix this reliably until I ran into http://wiki.debian.org/ReadonlyRoot#Find_processes_blocking_the_remount_readonly . In particular, the common reason is that after updating libraries, running services still have the old library files (now deleted) open. The script 'checkrestart' from debian-goodies lists these in a friendly way. Maybe voyage should include that, and maybe suggest running it if remountro fails?

Cheers
Robert
